I was wondering if there could be more of a police presence around Joe Cole
Center in the evenings - between 6p-10p. There is a high volume of youth and
young adults who hang out outside of the center and in the street and corner
of Morse & Montello. Could I get an update of when the assigned officer is
there?

I raise this issue again because last night when I came home around 7pm,
there was a young man unconscious at the corner of Morse and Montello,
across the street from the center. There were 20ish people who stood there
watching as a "friend" tried to pick him up and take him home. There was no
proper intervention until I came over. Thankfully, after a few minutes the
police & EMT arrived.

It seems like around 6pm the Cole Center becomes a meeting space. I watch
many of the youth show up about the same time every night and hang out. I
don't have an issue with the hanging out. I have issue with what they do
when they are hanging out. I frequently watch them engage in behaviors that
are a safety issue for themselves and residents around there. They are in
the street, dealing drugs, arguing & loud. I do call in questionable
activity when I can.
I am a person who side on being proactive than waiting for another tragic
incident to happen. I am not sure what happened with the young man last
night. I hate to think what may of happened to the him if there wasn't an
intervention.
